Ace Combat 6 microtransactions take flight

Namco Bandai is no stranger to micotransactions. If you need any proof just look at the list of character outfits in Culdcept Saga and the lengthy amount of optional content for the Idolm@ster. So what extras can Namco Bandai sell for Ace Combat 6: Fires of Liberation? Planes and each one costs 200 Microsoft Points ($2.50).

A pretty hefty price to pay for a Halloween themed fighter and a graphically updated plane from Ace Combat 2. On the plus side one of the planes is free so you can grab the F-16C Scarface Emblem and ignore the rest.

At some point in the future, you’ll buy a game for $60, put it into your console, but you’ll have to buy the main character before you can start the game and then each of his companions as you progress.

Developers: Just pack it into the game as extra unlockable content like in the old days – unlockable as when you meet certain achievements in the game.

Are they actual planes, or just paint schemes? I remember the decals for RR 7 were free..

@Visionnerz – some are adjusted planes like the F-16C Type AC2 others are paint schemes like the Halloween version
